Minister of Health Dr Lackram Bodoe said consideration will be given in the 2025/2026 budget to provide Continuous Glucose Monitors (CGMs) for children with diabetes.

It comes from a push by the Diabetes Association of TT (DATT) to have the monitors covered by the Chronic Disease Assistance Programme (CDAP) for children born with type-one diabetes.

Dr Bodoe said Minister in the Ministry of Health Dr Rishaad Seecharan recently met with DATT president Andrew Dhanoo to discuss the request, following which he met with Dhanoo.
